Jerubbaal.

Judg 6:14; Judg 6:32; Judg 8:29; Judg 8:35

Bedan.

Bedan, whose name occurs no where else as a judge of Israel, Bp. Patrick and others suppose to be a contraction of {ben Dan,} "the son of Dan;" by which they suppose Samson is meant, as the Targum reads.

The LXX., Syriac, and Arabic, however, instead of Bedan read Barak; and the two latter versions, instead of Samuel have Samson.

These readings are adopted by Houbigant, and appear to be genuine; for it is not probable that Samuel would enumerate himself.
